Blind obedience to the leader in Nazi society weakened what?

Individual conscience and democratic decision-making

Nazi society demanded loyalty to Hitler as the supreme leader and treated obedience as a civic virtue. When people follow orders without examining their morality or consequences, individual conscience becomes weaker. Independent judgement, open criticism, public accountability, and democratic decision-making are then replaced by conformity and command. Option D is correct because blind obedience undermines both personal responsibility and democratic institutions. Options A, B, and C do not fit: military discipline was strengthened, Nazi symbols were promoted, and leader worship itself was encouraged by the regime. The key distinction is between disciplined action based on lawful responsibility and unquestioning submission to an authoritarian leader.
